Sara Marie Williams

Sara Marie Williams, age 57, of McEwen, Tennessee, went home to be with the Lord on Nov. 8, 2025, just one day before her 58th birthday. She was born on Nov. 9, 1967, in Chicago, Illinois, to Dorothy “Dot” and H. T. “Jr.” Milligan and was a proud member of the WCHS Class of 1986.

Sara lived a life centered on faith, family, and love. Her relationship with the Lord guided her steps, shaped her character, and gave her strength through every season of life.

Sara’s greatest joy was being “Yaya” to her grandchildren; they were the light of her life, and she treasured every moment she spent with them. Whether she was spoiling them a little or simply sitting beside them, they brought her endless happiness.

Sara had a gift for finding joy in simple moments. She loved spending time with her grandchildren, enjoyed fishing on peaceful days, and could search for a thrift store or clearance rack like nobody else. She had a way of making everyday moments feel special, and she brought comfort and warmth wherever she went.

Those who knew and loved Sara will remember her gentle heart, her strong faith, and the way she always put her family first. Her legacy lives on in the countless lives she touched and in the love she gave so freely.

The family’s wishes were for cremation.
